This Blueprint sets out the approach taken, the logic and principles applied in assessing options and the framework used for developing a Community Carbon Neutral Community implementation plan. The Blueprint and the Uralla Case Study are both useful resources for communities seeking to become a Z-NET and can be found at: http://z-net.org.au/
A zero net energy town (Z-NET) is a community that reduces and balances its local energy needs with a 100% renewable energy supply. This is done firstly by reducing energy use and then importing or locally producing\ enough energy to meet or exceed the community’s demand.
